Letha Mae Scroggins was born December 14, 1920 in Vernon, Texas to Henry and Florence (Stover) McCourt. She grew up and attended schools in Casa, Arkansas. Letha married Roy Scroggins December 4, 1937 in Arkansas and they moved to Buttonwillow in 1948 and later to Wasco.

Letha worked for Thomas Jefferson school cafeteria and later for Palm Avenue School. As with many others of her time she also spent time doing field work and chopping cotton. Letha loved working in the yard and had a green thumb with her garden flowers. Her family will remember her as always on the go – with a spotless house, always kept perfectly clean.

Letha was preceded in death by her husband Roy who passed away in 2001; brothers, Roy and Alvie and her great granddaughter Cassie Lynn Martin [53635:B].

Notes (New):

Effective Jan 2014, new and revised entries are posted by death date and Scroggin(s) names (if ever used by the individual) are used for married women, with maiden names in italics and married names in parentheses. Monthly indexes (under construction) show all known name variations. Earlier, not yet revised obituaries are posted by date (may be approximate) of the obituary. Since Blogger will not support pre-1970 dates, pre-1970 deaths will be posted elsewhere at a location to be determined soon.
